Excellent reaction / breakdown, thanks! "Believing" is one of my favorite songs from their new album, THE OTHER ONE, if not my favorite, alongside "Mirror Mirror". "MAYA" and specially "METALIZM" are pretty crazy as well. As you said, the songwriting is top notch on all their songs. Well, it's actually one of their signature aspects. Every single new song and the whole concept album is so different from anything they did before. So, you will need to go back to their previous albums once you finish this one. 😁 Until next time!

Welcome back to BabyMetal's metalverse 🦊🤘🌐 The moment I heard that vocaloid (Hatsune Miku) style i knew Yuyoyuppe (aka YuppeMetal) was behind this song which also reminds me to Kagerou, and no wonder why, he's the one behind that song too and he gives that BM style unique sound in songs like Karate, Rondo Of Nightmare, Megitsune and Monochrome recently. MoaMetal is also a fan of his work despite the ridiculous time signatures that torture them lol We also got the first full English lyrics of this new album after a while and the first time released in Japan. They already got three songs entirely in English but those were released internationally. This was written and recorded 5 years ago and you can even hear a more childish vocals. Like they said, this is a collaboration between past and present selves, and is about the fact that you don’t see the same thing that others see, the English lyrics express a different personality and pov. Here's some official info: Believing (INVERTED MIRROR REFLECTION) _Even if the seasons change and time passes, some things remain the same and some change. When light reflects in the mirror, what appears are two faces and two relative worlds. Who should we believe: someone else’s words or your own?_ Keep sharing your journey through this new album and thanks for this nice breakdown. 🦊🤘🪞🔥 Composer: YUPPEMETAL Lyricist: PERI-METAL Arranger: YUPPEMETAL [Lyrics] I don’t wanna be confused anymore. There’s no safe space. We just can’t go back to the way we were. Leave everything in God’s hands. The seasons change. You are not the same. The seasons change. We are not the same. Don’t go back. All the things you said. All the things I know. All the things you said. All the things I know. Believing. Believing you. Believing you. I don’t wanna be afraid anymore. There’s no middle ground. We just can’t go back to the way we were. It’s kind of like Heads or Tails. The seasons change. You are not the same. The seasons change. We are not the same. Don’t let go. All the things I said. All the things you know. All the things I said. All the things you know. Believing. Believing you. Believing you. Wherever you are... Wherever we are... Wherever you are... Wherever we are... The seasons change. You are not the same. The seasons change. We are not the same. Don’t forget. All the things I said. All the things I know. All the things you said. All the things you know. Believing. Believing you. Believing you.

I found myself liking BELIEVING for its progressiveness, MAYA for its headbangingness, and METALIZM for its quirkyness... Babymetal music never cease to pleasantly surprise me for the last decade :)

So far, I think this might actually be my favourite track on the new album. It’s got just that right mix of heavy and catchy, and the heavily processed vocals actually works well. Plus Moa gets some lines!

Good reaction and analysis, thanks. The whole album is definitely worth repeated listens from track 1 to 10, each one is different and there is a good smattering of surprises among them.

I been following Babymetaru since the 2010 when they started and yeah studio version are not the same as live performance, I guess they do it on purpose but trust me live all of this songs from the concept album THE OTHER ONE sounds way better and heavier, you should check their older stuff is gold I recommend you "Tales of destinies" "GJ" "Sis Anger" "Amore" "uki uki midnight".

👍 👍

🍅💀🍅 🤘🏼🦊🤘🏼 love it

Thanks for this reaction/breakdown, their are definitely more gems on this album. Maya and Metalizm are probably the most interesting from a metal perspective ? Some of the other songs are less metallic or heavy, Time wave (genre mashing), Light and Darkness (poppier) and The Legend (slower, more ballad type song). As a non-musician I've heard people say online such songs still have their interesting elements. And surprises.

Did you hear anything familiar during the Chorus? Maybe a TATU song? "All the things she said" xD

This song is great. My favorite 4 songs from the new album are Monochrome, Believing and Mirror Mirror and Metalizm.

Next METALIZM, it's definitely their WTF song of the album! I thought it would have been MAYA, but METALIZM is on another level of craziness! Not everyone's cup of tea, I ❤it. About Believing, that's most MOA singing with her voice heavily processed, I think the song is about them, but mainly about her indeed. The production in TOO is their best ever, technically speaking is superior to any other BM studio album, musically I still think Metal Resistance has the edge, it was so fresh at the time, it's shocking even today. 🤘🦊⚡️

Buena Reaccion 🦊🤘
